UNIT TWO TWO TRUTHS TO LIVE BY 3
COMPREHENSION
1. According to Rabbi Alexander Schindler, we should hold fast to many gifts such
as beauty, love.
2. The author exploits the parable of open and closed hand in the very beginning of
the text to control the idea of the whole text. “Life is a paradox”, because it
encourages us to grasp its many gifts although it predetermines their final
disappearance.
3. The author tells the audience his experience in hospital to prove the fact that
people are indifferent to the grandeur of each day, and nobody sees the beauty of
sunlight or responds to it.
4. According to the author, people are reluctant to accept losses and failures because
they think that the world is theirs to command especially when they are young.
5. Since all of us will perish in the end, we must seek a wider perspective, viewing
our lives as through windows that open on eternity, whereby to reconcile on life’s
paradoxical demands. Though our lives are finite, our deeds on earth weave a
timeless pattern.
6. Life is a process. During the process, we should hold fast to life, but not so fast
that we cannot let go; we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.
7. According to the author, we should pursue the ideal, for ideals alone invest life
with meaning and are of enduring worth.
8. Alexander Schindler encourages the students to exalt above their personal
considerations and to perfect the present world.
9. There is strong religious color in the text. Alexander Schindler asks us to hold fast
to God’s gifts, to be reverent before each dawning day, to view our lives as
through windows that open on eternity, and to add religion to the humblest of
edifices.
10. The author delivers this speech to the university students in order to teach them
how to cope with life’s paradoxical problems in a wise way, and what to pursue.
